<span style="color: #222222;">The UN World Food Program, UNWFP has said that the crisis in Ukraine has created a catastrophe and will have a global impact. The Executive Director of UNWFP, David Beasley, at the U.N. Security Council yesterday stated that many of the Ukrainian farmers who produce a significant amount of the world's wheat are engaged in the conflict and as a result, &nbsp;the already high food prices, are skyrocketing.&nbsp; He said the agency was feeding 125 million people around the world before the Russia-Ukraine crisis and now it has to start cutting the rations because of rising food, fuel, and shipping costs.<br />''<br />''Ukraine and Russia produce about 30 percent of the world's wheat supply, 20 percent of corn, and 75 to 80 percent of the sunflower oil.&nbsp;</span><br />
